A partnership between the city, Cablevision and Time Warner Cable will provide hotspot access in the parks through July 2020.

Under the agreement, New Yorkers and visitors will be able to connect to the Internet for free for 30 minutes a month, and for 99 cents a day. The newly launched service will be free to all Cablevision and Time Warner broadband subscribers.

“Parks are not only great places for relaxation and recreation, they are also ideal for surfing the net,” said NYC Parks Commissioner Veronica M. White in a statement.

The goal of the program, according to the release, is to equip areas currently lacking widespread Internet access with high-quality WiFi.

“Increased access to public WiFi is one of the most popular requests we hear from New Yorkers, so today’s announcement will be welcome news to residents and visitors alike,” said Rachel Haot, New York City’s Chief Digital Officer. “By connecting more New Yorkers, we’re able to achieve the City’s goals of Internet access and engagement, underscoring Mayor Bloomberg’s Digital Roadmap.”
